Hugging Face announces a unified tool use API in the Transformers library that works across Mistral, Cohere, NousResearch, and Llama models, with helper functionality and complete documentation.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://huggingface.co/blog/unified-tool-use:

> There is now a unified tool use API across several popular families of models. This API means the same code is portable - few or no model-specific changes are needed to use tools in chats with Mistral, Cohere, NousResearch or Llama models.
